Inbound & Outbound Travel

For Education

Home

The British Educational Travel Association (BETA) is the umbrella body representing producers and suppliers of youth, student and educational travel related products.

A not-for-profit trade association, BETA has been delivering specialists seminars, workshops and creating opportunities for our members and the wider youth travel industry to meet, network and trade since 2003.

Youth travel is still the fastest growing and one of the most dynamic travel sectors. Youth travellers are knowledgeable, fun, eager, educated, focussed, ambitious and demanding and they are Britain’s Shining Opportunity. We must continue to engage these travellers, to encourage the growth of their knowledge of the world and Britain’s unique strengths.

BETA’s recently published study shows that the inbound UK youth, student and educational travel industry is worth over £20 billion to the UK economy.  For more information on our study please click here.
